The Prince
George’s County Volunteer Fire and Rescue Association will hold their 94th
Annual Convention and 86th Annual Convention of the Ladies Auxiliary during the
week of September 24 through October 1, 2016.
This years convention will be hosted by the Branchville Volunteer Fire
Company Rescue Squad, Inc. in College Park.

Many of the
convention activities involve business meetings, dinners and election of officers, however, there are several events open to the public that are quite entertaining to
watch. For instance, On Saturday, September
24th there are Extrication Contests and a Drivers Rodeo that will
test the skills of firefighters in disassembling vehicles using the “jaws of
life” and skill in driving large pieces of fire apparatus.

All the
events below will be held at the Branchville Fire/EMS station located at 4905
Branchville Road in College Park. Events
held at a different location are noted.

Tragically firefighters will find pets that have been injured in home fires. Sometimes owners are not availiable to bring their pet to a emergency vet or may not have the resources to afford medical care. The Prince George's County Fire/EMS Department and the Anne Arundel County SPCA have teamed up and created a fund whereas medical care for the pet would be covered in part or in full.
